General Rules

  • Be kind and keep it respectful. Anyone can post here to either give or receive a card no matter the reason big or small.

  • We are strictly a card-sending subreddit. No letters, penpals, ecards, or photos (including "X's love is so wide it reaches Y"), supply exchanges (washi tape, tea, stickers, seeds/gardening), gift exchanges, gift cards, trading cards, etc. Please check out the related subreddits in the sidebar if you are looking to request/send anything other than cards.

  • Thank you posts are strongly encouraged. Put the username of the person(s) in the title or in the body of your thank you post.

  • There are no limits on the number of cards you can offer/ exchange/ request. We encourage you to be considerate of others and give everyone a chance to claim offers.

  • Be smart about posting personal information. We require sharing addresses through PMs. We do not allow addresses in the body of a post or in publicly visible comments.

  • User Flair Count Rules: You can only be flaired for cards and postcards you send. Any other gifts such as letters, notes, washi tapes, stickers, ect, will not be counted towards your user flair.

  • Picture Posting: r/RandomActsofCards only allows text posts. To post a picture, link it from an image hosting website (such as Imgur) in the body of your post. For user privacy, all visible addresses and real names must be covered or edited out of any pictures posted.

  • Do not share another person's personal information. This includes addresses and medical information that is not your own.

@u/spookyoneoverthere- Thank you for the Mad libs 😂 and the handmade card is really cute. I agree with you over the kidney part. 💜

@u/hoolu123- Thank you for the chihuly postcard. It's very lovely and the way you decorated it at the back with stickers is really cute, loved it. 💚 (the mail came very late idk why)

[Thank You] newbies and regulars

u/Pretend_Constant4266 Thanks for your postcard - don't forget to include your username on your cards so people can write thank yous :) I have to admit that I barely ever have Sachertorte haha, it seems like a thing for tourists to be honest!

u/dpclamavi Thanks for the card from Japan - that was so fast! I hope you had less snow than on the card though ;)

u/duck_with_bat_wings Thanks for telling me about (a? your?) cat!

u/wabisabi_sf and u/ninajyang and u/littlemermaidxx Thanks for the meetup card!

u/tyedyeamish 3x Thanks for the cards! I also seem to collect cards of places I've never been...

u/wabisabi_sf Thanks for resending the LNY card. It seems to have made it all the way here and then they returned it! I'm still confused, clearly this was a "not my job" situation because while the ZIP code was wrong, it is actually a ZIP code that exists and they could have guessed the correct one from it...

[Thank You] for postcards!

Thank you to...

u/SaltyBeachBabe108 for the vintage Yellowstone postcard. I love the colors. I'm glad you're here!

u/keqani for the sweet vintage cat card. It's so sweet and the kitty on the card is almost the same color pattern as my cat.

u/Reasonable_Ad1688 for the cool Ghostbusters card. It definitely revived some past movie watching memories.

u/DaenerysWon for the thank you postcard. Epcot is so fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

u/aranealux for the awesome Six of Wands postcard... I think someone didn't like it because it looks like they tried to rip it in half but the sticker prevented it. It's still so cool and I've put it on my bulletin board.

u/hoolu123 for the Chiangmai postcard. I bet your grandmother shared so many wonderful memories of her travels.
